On this edition of Restoring the Soul, Michael concludes his conversation with composer, arranger, producer, singer, songwriter, and musician Rob Mathes. Rob is a Grammy-nominated, Tony-nominated artist who won an Emmy award for his musical direction of the Kennedy Center Honors.

In Part 2, a few of the topics Rob and Michael discuss include:

  • How Rob’s song, “Although It Is the Night” was inspired by St. John of The Cross’s poem “Dark Night of the Soul”.
  • Why great music mixes the sacred and the profane, “the gears grinding and the heavens singing.”
  • Understand why Rob feels it’s important to “poke holes” at aspects of Christianity that are seemingly crazy.
